Petunias

As emblems of love, romance, domesticity, and transience, flowers have long inspired painters with their delicate and intimate beauty and color. The petunia, a favorite of gardeners everywhere, was also a beloved subject of American artist Georgia O’Keeffe, who planted many of these vibrant annuals around her home near Lake George, in upstate New York. She depicted the blooms in a series of paintings, including Petunias (1925), from the collection of the de Young – Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

Hand patinaed bronze with enamel and freshwater pearls.

Handmade in the U.S.A.

About the artist: Michael Michaud

“Nature’s creations are the ultimate art that fills our hearts with joy, warms our souls with promise and fuels our spirit with desire. My true inspiration to reflect this beauty in adornment is what my Art is all about.”- Michael Michaud

Michael studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s prestigious school for American craftsmen, graduating in 1980. In 1991, fortunate enough to be living in the Connecticut countryside and working near New York City’s flower district, Michael’s love of nature began to combine with his love of jewelry. Today’s collection is a combination of Michael’s exceptional knowledge of jewelry making and his love of nature. He has perfected the technique of creating models from natural elements and, after models are made, manipulating these “copies of nature” into beautiful jewelry. Using bronze, sterling silver or gold and natural stones and pearls, Michael’s designs have become well known for their remarkable craftsmanship and beauty.
